Wrong assembly resolution on Release mode

[dungpa]

FCS resolves project references to Debug mode although current project is on Release mode. Here is an excerpt of FSharpProjectOptions:

Notice that *.Core.dll and *.Logic.dll refer to their bin\Debug folders.

Hi Phan, do you pass in the relevant property (i.e. Configuration=Release) when you call for the project options, or is the project file actually changed to default to that configuration?

Sorry, I was confusing myself. I read arguments from Visual F# Tools, not from project files. It's not a bug from FCS.

The issue is now reported at the right place https://visualfsharp.codeplex.com/workitem/164.
